And to equium;
-Almost right.The residual valves are pressed into the exhaust ports of the M/C.I have never pulled one out. I have never converted a drum/drum M/C.
-IIRC that brass valve doubles as the sealing surface for the specially formed M/C brake line. That would mean, once you get it out, you would have to defeat it, then reinstall it so that the joint wont leak.
-Can anyone confirm that?
